Teenagers show up to a rave party out in the boon docks, but little do they know they are being targeted by Satanic Devil Worshipers (SDW's). Once they leave the rave party, they come across an abused girl who was apparently captured and abused by the SDW’s. Shortly afterwards, they come across those same SDW's looking for the girl. They are hunted down by the SDW’s and are picked off one by one.

Villain:

SDW’s what more can we expect? How ‘bout villains that are actually scary looking? Would that be asking too much? They look cool when they’re in their dark cloaks and cheesy Halloween masks, but not when they take them off.

Cast:

Annoying, babbling, self-centered hot chicks along with the brother of Jerry O’Connell. Poor acting, but at least the chicks look trampy enough.

SFX/Gore:

Multiple deaths going both ways (4 vs. 6). The movie showed one of the girls getting a small cut, but in the next photo of her lying dead on the table. To top it off, there was no blood. The rest of special effects were okay. There was an explosion at the end, but it was obvious a low budget movie. I think it was originally made as a Sci-Fi movie because I saw it there first years ago.

TNA:

At least the movie was doing something right. First twenty minutes of film had some serious booby action (4 sets /3 @ rave). Maybe the whole movie should have been at the rave. Heavy bondage (not like the picture to the right...darn!) and sacrificial implied themes (Satanic Devil Worshippers)…duh! Seven hot chicks and one sex act. That act would have been cooler if the chick took some lingerie off.

T.Gun's Take:

Where should I start? SDW’s…moving on...

What Devil's Prey lacked in story line, and acting they made up for in TNA and deaths. So if you’re into drugs, sex, boobies, bondage and devil worshipping this may be the movie for you. If not, it's still a movie to kill an hour or two with. You might be asking yourself afterwards, "Where did that hour or two go?" But it's not too painful.

A personal favorite bad movie star, Jennifer Lyons, also stars in another one of my personal favorites, Jack Frost 2: Revenge of the Killer Mutant Snowman. Director Bradford May is the man who directed Darkman 2 & 3. So feel free to blame him for whatever you want. I do.
